Indian blockbuster ‘RRR' came, saw and conquered. One of the most awaited films of 2022, the film ran for multiple and sustained showtime periods and received standing ovations across theatres. However, it seems like the hit film has stolen more than just Indian hearts -- some of the biggest names in the global entertainment industry have lauded the historically envisioned and strikingly executed film. They have also praised (and even danced along) to Naatu Naatu.

One such Hollywood bigwig who applauded the engaging performances of Jr NTR and Ram Charan was Chris Hemsworth. The actor who will soon star in ‘Extraction 2', the sequel to 2020 action film ‘Extraction' watched ‘RRR' recently, and thought the film was 'incredible'. Hemsworth recently spoke with News18 and said not only would it be ‘fantastic' to work with them but also that he would be extremely ‘lucky' if the opportunity came through.

The original ‘Extraction' (2020) marked one of Hemsworth's first forays into the Indian entertainment scene. He collaborated with Bollywood actor Randeep Hooda while working on the film. The film was largely shot in India - a land which Chris loves so much that he has named his daughter after it! While talking about ‘Extraction 3', Chris Hemsworth expressed his desire to work with Indian stars again.

"I just watched RRR recently, and I thought the film was incredible. Ram Charan and Jr NTR are amazing, so, if was lucky to work with them, that would be fantastic," Chris Hemsworth told News18.
